Food was great as usual. Service a bit slow, food took forever to come out which was strange since the place was pretty dead when we got there. Other tables were complaining about wait time as well.

I love Tavern 18. I used to work in the area and would go there for lunch. The food is always good, fresh, reasonably priced. My favorite dish is their grilled branzino. They have a nice selection of a variety of foods. I wish they would offer the appetizers at dinner that are on the menu given at the bar. Overall, a nice place to eat, meet friends have a drink or two. I've never been to their brunch but I've heard it's equally as nice.

Need more customers for this amazing place! We enjoyed every piece of the meat. Only the US can provide such juicy and tasty beef. We need better cabinet Sauvignon to serve the customers.
